JODY FAIR AND JUDY HOWARD IN 'GHOST OF DRAGSTRIP HOLLOW'

Year: 1959 Rating: ****

Sequel to a franchise b-movie HOT CAR GANG that hardly involved a gang and with only two young actors returning in the genre novelty of GHOST OF DRAGSTRIP HOLLOW, combining the titular ghost story with the original's borrowed plot about saving a car club's clubhouse, the dancing and rocking motorhead teens wind up at a haunted manor with only about twenty minutes left...  

Beginning with the only actual car race shot in an L.A. reservoir with mechanically-minded beauty Jody Fair returning with spectacle-wearing geek mechanic Harry McCann...

Joined by newcomers Martin Braddock as the square-jawed lead vs tough guy hoodlum Jack Ging; a hyperactive (and horrendously unfunny) comic relief; and some extremely cute girls... 

Including 1960's surf-movie/b-horror-scream-queens Elaine DuPont and Judy Howard at a skimpy clothes slumber party in this breezy hot rod exploitation without very many hot rots... yet that's just fine since for a drive-in cinema time-filler, this GHOST has pretty much everything.
